OPENING
RECEPTION: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 12 / 6 - 9PM
with a performance by ELECTROPHILIAfeaturing
Koether and Parrino at 7PM

Taking
inspiration from the anarchic history of Dada and their own
involvement with punk rock, Jutta Koether and Steven Parrino have
come together to create BLACK BONDS, an exhibition which reinvents
anti-art's collaborative spirit. The gallery will feature Koether
and Parrino's "failed paintings": blacked-out by the
artists to cancel, and in turn, reconstruct their works. The black
paintings will serve to define a conceptually destructed environment
in which six noise performances will take place. Koether and Parrino
will perform as Electrophilia at both the opening and closing
events, and have invited Black Dice, Foot, Christian Marclay and
Merzbow to join their collaboration. Looking to our avant-garde
roots in Zurich, the SI will serve as a new Cabaret Voltaire,
hosting a reincarnation of noise, and anarchic play, in the spirit
of both Dada and punk rock.
